I wanted to write a program on Linux that can get motion alerts. How do they work? Does the camera visit a link at the DLink site and provide its ID number, which is hashed to my mydlink account only (thus making this impossible)? Or can I somehow receive the data from the camera to my software? If the latter is the case, how? Many thanks!

In the latest DCS-932L firmware (1.14.04), direct access to these URLs are no longer possible and results in the message: "The request is forbidden."

Has anyone figured out a way around this that they could share? I have tried downgrading the firmware but then you cannot use the mydlink remote viewing service.

I think you have to add

--referer http://URL-CAM/email.htm

I had similar problem with enabling/disabling motion detection and in this case referer url was motion.htm

Hello, im back on this project and cant get it to work with Day/Night Mode.

Motion works fine with "http://admin:PASSWORD@192.168.0.XX/motion.cgi?MotionDetectionEnable=0&MotionDetectionSensitivity=75&ConfigReboot=No&ConfigSystemMotion=Save".Both for setting Sensitivity and activate/deactivate motion.

What must i do to activate/deactivate Night Mode? The only response i get is "The request is forbidden.".It dont matter if i add "--referer http://your_camera_ip/night.htm" in the call.Can someone help me out?
